Just say this was the first time you’ve watched the thunder this year cause it’s clear yall don’t know what they been doing. Shai is that dude period and J Williams is a walking 20 points as a secondary creator. They have the best defense in the league, best point differential in the league by far and Chet and the monstar haven’t played together yet. Okc is running the west and don’t forget they haven’t even touched their nest egg yet
No cares bout the nba cup
NBA news is honestly irrelevant. The league blows, super boring, nothing exciting to talk about.
Nba is dead
Wildes acknowledging Alex Caruso the twitter gambling dude is hilarious
They really trying their hardest to make people think the NBA cup means something lol
Just give out a conference regular season champ and the MVP has to come from 1 of those 2 teams
NBA is vanishing before our eyes 👀
Imagine if the Falcons never brought Cousins in, start Penix, and use the Cousins money to pay some talent.
As a Dub Nation fan, the 144-133 loss to DAL, was an ABSOLUTE Snooze fest 😮
Nick had a damning statement if you can’t make 10 3s you lose hence dead product
Giannis is overrated
THANK GOD THEY’RE COVERING THE NBA
First Thing First my favourite show to watch.
Hi Nick Wildes & Brou 👋 🤩.
Nick trying to make "just 1" nba cup win mean something in the goat debate. It didn't exist when Mike played and Lebron will only ever have the 1, which also is the same year the Lakers got bounced in round 1
Nick we definitely pick the bucks to come out the east lol book it
I don’t watch a lot of sports like I used to.
Nicks idea about the extra win for the Cup is solid—added in at the end of the year but no loss to any team that doesn’t win.
Nick never knows what he’s talking about.
Lax status lmfaoooo
Great to see some NBA coverage 🏀
Can't wait to see all the LeBron haters crying constantly whenever he's mentioned 😂
The first NBA story since the finals last year 🤦🏾♂️
What if u won the cup the team is automatically at minimum the 8th seed
Game was absolutely atrocious, like much of the nba now. Okc couldnt buy a 3, shot 15% from deep and just kept chucking them up. I get doing it at the end to try to chip away at the big lead, but it was the whole game they were bricking and still chucking. Awful product
FTF NBA LETS GO
That’s such a bad take from Nick, Penix is under no pressure whatsoever, the Falcons were not going to win another game with Cousins as QB so there was no chance of making the playoffs with him. All Penix has todo is do is go out there and be better than Cousins which he absolutely will! That’s how bad Cousins has been. If Penix wins a couple games and the Falcons sneak into the playoffs he is a hero! And if not then no big deal, the team and the fans will move on to next season. The only debate worth having is should the Falcons have done this sooner, yes, they should’ve benched Cousins halfway through the Chargers game
Nick is the most dedicated Lebron dicc rider I’ve ever seen. He’s trying to make the NBA cup seem more important since Lebron won last year. It’s kinda sad but funny🤣
They should make a rule if the championship team from the cup makes it to the finals they get home court
Make the cup win a requirement for the super max + contract.
Emerates Cup segment?? Ugh.. 🙄
Boooooo
Nick: "…credit for winning the Cup… you dont get the loss if you're OKC, but you get the win… add a win… the math…" This needs more attention. Low key best muppet take from Nick this week.
maybe yall can replace those overplayed purdy, rodgers, and cowboys segments for some more NBA talk?
Whoever wins the tournament gets to host the semis and final in their city the following year. Good for all the communities in the nba. Fan bases would really care about this.
NBA in the A block? Ya they cut the check
Chris Broussard should win an award for most ice cold takes in sports media history
I guess the Celtics gonna have to smack the bucks around again
They won the what?
Finally we get an NBA topic. I can't wait for the Chiefs to win their third SB in a row and we can focus on the NBA again.
Shoutout to Alex Caruso the guru
In season NBA tournament is meaningless. Convenient how Nick didn't mention the coach got fired even though he won the first in season tournament. If the in season tournament was important, you wouldn't fire the coach. LA fired the coach because the only thing that matters is the NBA championship.
Dude says the Knicks and the bucks are better then Dallas Yeaa he don’t know basketball
